How many quarts do you usually get from a 10 frame illinois super?
I just extracted and used quart mason jars and got a little over 12 qts/super. They come out to about 3.5#. I quickly sold out - $18/qt. I liked this way better than paying high prices for honey jars, which I have done in the past.
wow thats really good! Do you think it matters if this is the first time the comb has been drawn and extracted? Thats a good price is that what it is priced this year by the quart?

Doesn't matter, as long as it was all capped. The frames were pretty much 100% capped and were 10 framers. This first harvest was from citrus and was fairly dark and really delicious, and people were happy to pay $5/# and commented on how fantastic it is. I guess that's what my immediate market will bear :-)
